	Games - JezzBall

JezzBall is a computer game in which red-and-white 'atoms' bounce about a rectangular field of play. The player advances to later levels (with correspondingly higher numbers of atoms and lives) by containing the atoms in progressively smaller spaces, until at least 75% of the area is blocked off. You gain a bonus for getting more than 75%, which is calculated from the percentage over 75 that you manage to block off. It is similar to to Qix, which was released during the Golden Age of Arcade Games.

JezzBall was programmed by Dima Pavlovsky and introduced in 1992 as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack, and also in the later Best of Windows Entertainment Pack. Despite Microsoft withdrawing support in 1996, it still has a dedicated fan base.

Clones

There are many JezzBall clones that have inundated the internet. A simple Google search will return nearly 160,000 results. The original game is not to be confused with any of these clones which normally offer updated graphics but lack the gameplay technique of the original. Most of these clones are mere demos, wanting the user to pay for the downloading of additional levels. Many of these known clones are found on JezzBall.com, which is just a portal for the sale of these clones and is by no means an "official" JezzBall page. Some of these clones are:
Jezzball Deluxe 1.1
Jezzball Ultimate 1.4
Cosmo Bots 1.0
J-Ball
Water Bugs
SnowBall
IceBreaker - Features Tux, the Linux mascot.
